Literally. We joined 2 ropes of our favorite colors and tied them into one using a double fisherman's knot, symbolizing the strength of our love, relationship and now marriage! Our intimate wedding ceremony was held at a small private wooded hide-a-way called Hidden Ridge at Otter Lake in Girard, IL. Scott grew up fishing Otter Lake, and knows it very well. Which is why it was the topic of Scott and Sami's first conversation (on the deck Scott help build), our first text message (that Scott ignored) and first fishing trip (where Sami out fished Scott). On our first visit to Hidden Ridge, we knew it was the place we wanted to exchange vows. There is no power and limited parking, but there is a canvas tent covered by a canopy of trees and surrounded with a beautiful views of Otter Lake.
